There is no safe space anymore.
Let the stains remind you. They are markers of repetition, traces of attempts, evidence of failure or insistence. Once isn’t enough, twice is already too much. There is a line somewhere, invisible yet palpable, between persistence and excess, between memory and irritation. It is funny, in a way, that the whole planet seems glued to its screens, each of us tethered to a tiny rectangle, living in the quiet apocalypse of constant distraction. Uber fucking alles, the world delivered to your door, your pocket, your hand.
When did disagreement about art become unacceptable, as if criticism were an attack rather than a natural part of thinking and discussion?
Have years of “likes,” hearts, and algorithmic approval trained us to expect validation instead of honest feedback?
If art is meant to destabilize, provoke, and challenge us, why are we so uncomfortable when someone simply says: “I don’t like it”?
